I've also got a problem with a USB harddrive. Wehn plugged in, the icon will not show in My Computers but, I can use the Nero Backup application to write to it and it shows up in the hardware manager and when I click the USB stop it also shows up. I've looked at the threads and thought about the High Filters solution proposed but when I plug in my MP3/flash drive, it comes up on the My Computer directory, the Hardware Manager adn USB stop all as E: drive and the HD then moves from E: to F: but still not seen as an icon. When I go through the Hardware Manager properies and pull the drive up it is showing about 1/4th of teh drive used which I calculate it should based on the backups so it seems to be working that way. On my other XP laptop when I plugged it in it showed up as expected to it seems to be an OS issue. Any ideas?
